‘The New York Times’ Says Jerry Seinfeld Is Failing to Pay It Forward

“Mr. Seinfeld, more than most, could use his show to give a platform to comics needing discovery. Instead, he packs it with fellow stars. They reminisce together about the days when they were nobodies and given glorious breaks, and seem almost unaware that there are nobodies today who could benefit from breaks of that very kind.”

– The New York Times in a new piece comparing the “everyman scrutiny” of Seinfeld to the comedian’s web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which has drawn criticism for its lack of guest diversity.
